Mini Air Conditioner Infront of Intake fans?

[Zeath]

Just like the title says. Is it a good idea and if yes, any suggestions for a cheap but decent mini ac unit? Probably a one that is powered by 3 pin plug or usb. Need the ambient temps around my pc to be cool cos i live in a pretty humid country.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry about the vote down, accidentally pressed it opps 😛 my idle temps are around 40 - 43 degrees. I have a 4790k with hyper 212X. My case only has its stock fans which is the Define R5 fans.

try installing the intel burn test and see what your temps reach

isnt that more extreme then prime95? i tried p95 on small FTT and my temps went up to the mid 80s.

There are no "Mini" AC units on the commercial market and no GPU/CPU combination on the market would make much use of any thing like it. This has been a subject asked before and you would have to enclose the entire PC to be somewhat effective. Considering the Electric you would waste and time rigging something up like this a good Liquid cooling loop would be far more efficient and effective. 40-43 ºC is optimal you have nothing to be concerned about unless your staying @65 ºC and above. GPU's will handle more heat some of them up to º80 ºC.

So what you're trying to say is that i would be better off with an aio liquid cpu cooler? Recommendations?

you could use thermometric plates on the side of your case to cool the whole thing but the case will need to be sealed

Your temps are fine look up the Range for what Intel recommends. If your still concerned then look at a Closed loop system like a H80 or H100 or a Custom Loop which is more expensive and harder to put in.
